Thanks, everyone, you've helped me convince the team to try this out. I'm trying to put together a budget and parts list for a versaframe build project, but I can't seem to find any documents that are complete enough to make a parts list, or even a complete tools list (e.g. hole saw size). Would someone please direct me to where I can find answers to the following (and follow-on) questions?
- Are there any documents which show how the versaframe blocks come together?
- It appears that you must drill large holes in the tubing for axles to pass through. How large they should be? Where they should be centered? What are the tolerances?
- Are the clamping gearbox, clamping bearing and WCD bearings alternatives for or must they be used in conjunction with a face bearing mount? I can find pictures of the pieces either completely isolated or completely integrated, but nowhere in between.
- How do the various gears, sprockets, and wheels say on the shafts - is it strictly shaft collar based, or do I need some more hardware?
